I am curious how there have been Jews in Rome for over 2000 years? If there is anyone the RCC would want to punish, kill and burn, it would be the Jews. And it would be easiest in Rome, where the Church had actual temporal power for several centuries. However, the oppression did not start until after the Protestant Reformation started.

If you want examples of Protestant intolerance, feel free to examine Protestant reactions to Copernicus and Darwin.

Your claim that the Evangelical beliefs match those of Tertullian is wrong. In Scorpiace, Tertullian quotes Baruch 6:3.

Let's don't go there. Remember Galileo? The one who by studying the planets found out about heliocentrism? (That's where the planets go around the sun.) Well the Catholic Church beat the poop out of the old man and put him under house arrest. Scared the daylights out of him for being correct. Real tolerance there. The One True Church was wrong and behaved with cruelty.

You guys really know how to spin your history. "Several centuries?" Give me a break.

Your tyrannical persecution of the Jews, though not in Rome mostly in Spain, took place before the Protestant. I'm sure you've heard of the Inquisition. You choice of words, "oppression" is more spin. Burning people at the stake is worthy of stronger language than "oppression."

Catholics are so in love with Charles Darwin. Has he been canonized yet?
